Chapter 1: The Gloomy Pavilion

Next Chapter

On summer nights, deep in the woods outside this remote city, the air is filled with the scent of plants, and everything is silent except for the occasional chirping of insects, and the bright moon in the sky, although half obscured by heavy clouds, still shines with dazzling fluorescence, giving some light to the otherwise dark jungle.

A hint of silver-gray moonlight cast through the gaps in the clouds shone on a desolate villa, except for the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight, the surroundings were still dark, the lush weeds in the courtyard grew tall, half-covering the rusty iron door, a gust of wind blew, the weeds swayed and rubbed, making a rustling sound, the outer wall was crawling with unknown vines, and the red tiles on the outer wall fell a lot, combined with the cooing of owls, making this place very consistent with the scene depicted in the horror movie.

On a mahogany sign crawling with vines and mosses next to the rusty gate, the words puppet house are faintly exposed, because of the long-term sun and rain, the crimson paint is a little dry and cracked, like blood sprinkled on it, adding a touch of gloom to this villa.

At the back of the villa, a faint light was unexpectedly mixed in a large number of windowless rooms with broken glass, and the silvery-white light radiating from the only intact window happened to shine on the two glowing tombstones, and around the two tombstones, a well-groomed red rose clustered around the two small earthen bags in the middle.

The feeling of such a dense vine-clad and gloomy Western-style pavilion and the garden covered with red roses behind it is terrifying, but there is not a single weed in the surrounding red rose fields, and the fresh fruit still in front of the tombstone shows that someone has been taking care of this place.

A young man in the lighted room walked up to the window to block out the large light, and his dark shadow happened to block the rose field, and he stared at the two tombstones in the middle with his tired eyes with heavy dark circles.

The breeze blew through his shoulder-length black and gray hair, and he pressed a strand of hair against his horribly gray face, and reached out to brush it back along his ear.

The fingers that played with the hair were thin enough that the phalanges could be clearly seen, and the nails were white without a trace of blood. Standing in front of the window, he could only see the upper half of his body, where his collarbone could be easily seen.

With his hands firmly in front of him, he closed his bloodshot eyes and muttered to the tombstone, "Dad, Mom, are you doing well?" I don't feel scared anymore, I'm happy every day with that greedy nagging elf with me, but now that this life is coming to an end, I'm going to leave this world and go to the anime world to find you, if it's really like it's true, I hope we can see each other again......"

Biting his chapped lip and muttering for a while, he seemed to have nothing else to say after his daily routine.

"I hope you can take care of yourself in other worlds, and I will take care of myself too." After saying that, he ended the prayer and walked back to the room.

The room was a mess, with snack bags and empty drink bottles all over the floor, dirty clothes and shoes and socks littered everywhere, black sheets and bedding mopping on the floor, a large number of delivery boxes piled up in the corner, and several huge black garbage bags at the door.

This is the room where he Lin Soul has lived since he was a child.

~~

Until he was seven years old, he had a carefree childhood with his mother, who was a puppeteer, and his father, who was a chef.

The income from his father, who is a well-known chef, who runs a restaurant, and the money brought out by his mother, who is the son of a wealthy family, bought the villa and the surrounding woods, and lived a comfortable life.

His favorite thing to do is to make beautiful dolls with his mother, who were also his best playmates of childhood, his favorite food was the delicious food prepared by his father, and the family often went on picnics in the jungle together. After being naughty and mischievous and breaking my father's things, I was scolded by my father, and then hid in my mother's warm arms to seek comfort, everything was so joyful.

However, this warm life changed dramatically after my parents received an invitation from a friend's family who opened a wax museum abroad and decided to travel abroad.

Because of the family he was going to, the daughter of the family had a discordant relationship with him, and he couldn't stop crying when he knew that he was going to her house, so his father had no choice but to hand him over to the care of the restaurant clerk, which also allowed him to escape.

Originally, it was just an ordinary trip to be invited, and no one expected that such a wax museum with complete firefighting would suddenly catch fire, and Lin Soulxin's parents happened to be killed in that fire, and like the director of the wax museum who died together, they didn't even leave any bones.

Since then, everything has changed, and only a lonely crying figure is left in the villa full of laughter and laughter, but no matter how sad and sad he is, no one will come to comfort him.

With the help of the staff of his father's restaurant, a mound was built for his parents at the back of the villa, opposite his room, and planted with their favorite red roses, which became the pillar of his young mind for a long time afterward.

At the beginning, he had a complete mental breakdown, and every day he locked himself in his room without eating or drinking, and when he closed his eyes, he would remember the gentle words of his parents, which made him even more sad, and how many times he felt that it would be better if he left with him.

All this until the mysterious system that suddenly arrived broke into his life, and he came into contact with the anime world in the narration of the system elves, and various stories diverted his attention, and the laughter in it made him seem to find his old family, which made him addicted to it and accompany him out of the shadows.

It can be said that the system elves and anime saved Lin Soul and accompanied him through the most difficult time.

Fortunately, the property left by his parents was enough for him to live a carefree life, so that he didn't have to worry about life, but it also made him develop the habit of staying at home, and his personality became withdrawn.

~~

Stepping on the garbage all over the ground, climb onto an integrated home recliner, placed relatively close to the window, in front of the recliner is a screen, there are joysticks and mice on both sides, a bunch of keys that don't know the function are under the armrest on one side, and the keyboard in front of him is full of snack residues.

At this time, he was holding a beige blanket, leaning on a pillow with a yellow face with a big smile and squinting eyes behind him, and he was nesting there to open the player.

"Humph! Who is greedy and nagging? How many times have I told you that your parents have already been reincarnated in other worlds, and no matter how much you pray, they can't hear them, why are you doing this useless work? ”

A faint voice rang out in the room, but the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Soul stared quietly at the screen in front of him, which was showing the new episode he had been looking forward to for a long time, looked at it intently, and replied indifferently: "This is my habit, at least talk to them every day, and it has nothing to do with whether my parents are in this world or not." ”

"It's all said, if you still want to meet your parents, hurry up and set off with me to the anime world, as long as you're lucky, you can meet your parents, you're obviously dragging your feet now, okay?" The indistinct voice was full of helplessness, and I don't know how many times it persuaded Lin Soul Heart today.

It's a pity that after persuading it again, Lin Soulxin's only reaction was to open the bag of potato chips.

The chaise longue he was lying on was in the front left corner of the room, on one side of the room was a large bed, so dirty that it was impossible to see what it was, the bedding on the bed was scattered at one end, and at the other end the bed edge and the floor were full of clothes, and on the clothes were all kinds of handhelds.

On the bedside table was a photo of the family, the frames of which were spotlessly clean.

On the right side of the bed was a wardrobe, the door of the wardrobe was ajar, and there were many dolls dressed in small and exquisite clothes, neatly arranged, as if they had not been touched for a long time and were covered with dust, and there were many socks and panties scattered in the drawers that had been pulled open and dropped on the floor.

At the end of the bed is a huge TV, which occupies almost the entire wall, and under the TV is full of game console handles and game CDs, and on the TV screen is a two-dimensional beautiful girl in a swimsuit with a red face.

At this time, Lin Soul was watching the anime intently, reaching out from time to time to grab a few potato chips and putting them in his mouth, chewing them with a click, and then picking up the Coke next to him and pouring a few sips and burping.

"But you also said that it was the world of the anime, but you are not sure that you will send me to the world of that anime, if I am now sent to a world like Dragon Ball by you, let alone see my parents again, my own safety is a problem, right?" After speaking, Lin Chao raised his head and put all the potato chip residues in the bag into his mouth, and threw the empty bag on the ground.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I really don't know! I'm just the spokesperson of the system, and my responsibility is only to tell you the role and function of the system, and I don't have that authority no matter how much I have! ”

After speaking, there was the same click and click of eating potato chips as Lin Soul's heart, which made the voice even more indistinct: "Anyway, can you change the flavor of potato chips, you eat one flavor every day, and I can only eat with you when I extract your sense of taste, I'm tired of it." ”

"Huh! The waste material elves who can't do anything still make so many demands, and they are so thick-skinned! There was a mockery, pouting dissatisfiedly.

Having said that, he got out of the recliner, walked to the side and rummaged in the corner, took out a newly arrived one from the large pile of express cartons, cut the box open with scissors, and fumbled around and took out a packet of artichoke-flavored potato chips from the box.

"Satisfied, right? Don't bother me to make up.,Since you know it's in the anime world and you're not sure which one.,The stupidest way is to watch them all.,Wait until I've finished watching this one and then set off.。 After tearing open the bag and eating a slice, Lin Soul Heart returned to the recliner and said to the system elf while clicking the play button.

The system elf clicked and ate for a while before he was satisfied: "You are finally planning to leave, I have been waiting here for more than a few years, you guy has been there to make up for it, so that I am almost deleted by the system, don't you just don't know the destination?" You're being so cautious......"

Letting the system elf talk endlessly, Lin Soul had no interest in paying attention to it at all, just staring intently at the heroine's final confession on the screen in front of him.

"Damn it! It's dog food again! Scolding and scolding, still staring at the progress of the plot, as the plot progressed, soon the player sounded the beautiful ending song of the anime.

As the screen continued, he stood up and stretched to the music, and walked back to the window to look at his parents' tombstones.

"I'm ready to go."
